FOUNTAIN-PEN ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 29, 1919.

Application led October 15, 1918. Serial No. 258,201.

T 0 all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN HILLINGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Pen Attachments, ofwhich the following is a specification'.

This invention relates to clips for fastening or holding fountain pensin pockets to guard aga-inst the loss thereof, and its object is toprovide the clip with a receptacle designed to hold a supply of solubleink tablets.

The object stated is attained by means of a novel combination andarrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed, and inorder that the same may be better understood reference is had to theaccompanying drawing forming a part of this specification.

In the drawing,

Figure 1 is an of a fountain pen with thereto, and

elevation of a fragment Fig. 2 is an elevation of the device removedfrom the pen and shown partly in section.

Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes a fountain pen providedwith a clip of conventional design for holding the pen in the ownerspocket-to guard against loss. The clip is composed of a shank 6 havingat one end the usual laterally projecting spring jaws 7 encircling thepen and gripping the same.

On the outer face of the shank 6 is mounted an elongated tubularreceptacle 8 designed to hold a supply of soluble ink tablets 9. Thisreceptacle is closed at the bottom,

Copies of this patent may be obtained for the device attached and itstop is provided with a removable closure in the form of a cap 10 seatingeX ternally over said end of the receptacle.

The receptacle S extends parallel to the shank G and it is soldered orotherwise permanently secured thereto, and as it is secured to the outerface ofthe shank it does not interfere with the holding function of theclip. It will be noted that the Lipper end of the clip shank from whichthe jaws 7 extend, is offset laterally from the main .body of the shank,which leaves the upper end of the receptacle 8 carrying the cap 10 freeof the shank and renders the cap readily accessible for removal.

The device is simple in construction, and it is cheap and can be easilyapplied to the clip, and it will be found especially useful for personsin military service as a supply of ink tablets is always at hand withthe pen.

I claim:

l. The combination with a fountain pen clip; a receptacle mounted on theshank of the clip and extending in the direction of the length thereof,one end of the receptacle being free of the shank and spaced laterallytherefrom, and a closure for said end of the receptacle.

2. The combination with a fountain pen clip having a shank one end ofwhich is offset laterally; of an elongated receptacle mounted on theshank of the clip and terminating at one end beyond the offset portionthereof and spaced laterally therefrom, and a closure for said end ofthe receptacle.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN I-I'ILLINGER.
